I have added 15 images from yesterday to a separate library on Photobucket. I will most likely add more as I wade through all of the 170 images I shot. Most were shot with the 300mm f/2.8 and 600mm f/4 and at times with the TC-14B and TC-300 as needed . All shots with the 300mm were hand held...

I shot these on my way home from Phoenix today. I honestly think this part of the country has just as much grandeur and beauty as did WA state, it is just of a different kind of beauty. Some of these Saguaro cacti were at least 30 feet high and probably well over 100 years old. They don't even...

I went to the Phoenix Zoo today and shot about 200 images. These two Prairie Dogs were taking turns wrestling and grooming each other. I shot this image with the 80-200mm f/4 AIS @ 200mm and f/5.6. This is one VERY SHARP LENS. I lugged the "beast" as well as the D700, extra battery pack for the...

My uncle Ed came down with aspirative pneumonia two weeks ago. His condition has waxed and waned for the as 2 weeks but this afternoon he slipped into unresponsiveness. In addition to pneumonia he has now tested positive for the flu. He is in his mid 90's and I am confident that this condition...

But here is a Springerville AZ moon with the D700, 600mm f/4 ED-IF AIS and TC-300. The moonlight rule of thumb, 1/ASA @ f/11 works like a champ every time!

This is more of what I am used to when it comes to a camera. I don't like menus, never have, I like dials. And 16MP is plenty. Nikon does not offer any additional focusing screens but focusingscreen.com offers about 8 of them. The shutter speed only goes to 1/4000. I don't think if I have ever...

"Sum Ting Wong Here!" We are only 1 hour behind NW FL and it was 17º here this morning at 5:30 when I left for work.

I hope you are all stuffing yourselves and watching football! I may be working and 1500 miles from my family, which is not that bad, I could be 7500 miles away and in Baghdad (been there done that 2x), but I still have a lot to be thankful for. First and foremost I have my health. There are 6...

Working in the healthcare field you see some wondrous things but also some things that really tear at your heart. I had such a patient this evening, For reasons for which I am both professionally and legally bound I can say very little, but this particular patient is in her mid 40's and has...

I headed WNW out of Springerville into the mountains today. I got up to about 9600 feet in places. A lot of the snow is still there, even though the temperatures were hovering around 40. There are a lot of stands of Aspen up there, especially in the higher elevations. I also came upon some old...

I wonder if he will report it to the police? No Justice, No Peace, now NO RIDE either! No Justice, No Peace! #Ferguson Protest Leader Has Car Stolen During “F*ck the Police” Rally | The Gateway Pundit

I have always loved Yogi Berra and his hilarious Berra-isms. I found this site and thought I would share it: Yogi Berra Quotes - BrainyQuote

This is off of the front page of that D700 user's group. Look at number FOUR. Is it just me or does anyone else find that hilarious?

I drove about 50 miles to a lake to shoot some birds and whatever strolled into my field of view. I have been battling a chest cold for the last 3 days so dragging all of that gear, including the "beast" (600mm f/4) took a lot out of me. I set up the beast on the tripod and used a TC-300. Even...

It seems like a pretty decent group https://www.flickr.com/groups/nikond700/discuss/72157648833987770/

I don't think it will work on cameras like the D3 or D4 or ones with supplemental battery packs Leather Hand Strap Grip Replace Nikon AH 4 D3 D300 D700 | eBay

..........for when my wife comes here for Christmas. Assuming of course it is not impassible! It will be our first white Christmas together since 1984. The place is called the Black River and is about 25 miles away up in the higher mountains. It is really not a river now, little more than a...

An interesting site that lets you estimate your lens' age by its serial number. I really wished Nikon had adapted a system similar to that used by Hasselblad. Theirs is much more detailed and specific. I know not only year but month of manufacture of every piece of Blad equipment I own by its...
